Breast cancer is the commonest cancer amongst women of our country and in metro cities, 1 in every 30 women are at risk of this cancer.  More alarming than the above figure is, that we have a relatively higher death rate as compared to western world. This is because we are diagnosing this cancer in advance stages.

The risk of breast cancer can be lowered by adopting a healthy lifestyle, avoiding obesity, adapting to breast feed and be self-aware about changes in your breast. Screening, early detection, and multidisciplinary team management can achieve improvement in outcomes. Recent advances in breast cancer management (chemotherapy and supportive care, newer hormone therapy combinations, targeted therapy for Her2 (+) cancer and immunotherapy) not only improve the overall survival of both early and advanced breast cancer patients but also help them maintain a good quality of life.

A Positive attitude will help you, not only live the new normal but also make you strong enough to help other in the fight against cancer.   #CANFIGHT.
